Longevity improves when health decisions are guided by clarity rather than hype.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti breaks down the most common anti-aging tests and scans that promise insight but often deliver unnecessary risk, cost, or confusion. He explains why DEXA scans, biological aging blood tests, whole-body MRIs, VO2 max testing, and mass-market screening programs frequently miss what actually predicts lifespan and vitality.
Instead, Dr. Petteruti highlights practical, evidence-based measures that matter more—muscle mass, grip strength, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk assessment, and targeted imaging when appropriate. He also addresses supplement marketing, peptide misuse, and genetic testing claims that distract from real cellular health and functional aging.
Focus on strategies that support strength, cognition, and resilience over the long term. Watch the episode of Longevity Myths Exposed: The Anti-Aging Tests and Scans You Should Avoid.
